If you grew up in a certain bygone era, then the little advertising jingle “Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia!” will instantly flood your brain with memories of the ’90s/early 2000s. That’s when they’d advertise the Chia Pet, the perennial product sold on late-night television. But they’re still around, and now, and you can get Chia Pets based on all kinds of pop culture favorites. And just in time for spooky season, we have a Chia Pet based on THE slasher, Halloween’s Michael Myers, a.k.a. “The Shape.” Or we should say, Halloween II’s Michael Myers. You can check out images of the Halloween II Chia-Pet down below:
The Halloween II Michael Myers Chia Pet includes a unique pottery planter, a convenient plastic drip tray and chia seed packets for three plantings. Owners can expect fulll growth in one to two weeks. In almost no time at all, your Chia Pet will achieve maximum growth and enjoy a luscious green coat. Each Chia Pet contains a simple six step care instruction on how to grow your own miniature embodiment of evil. Or, since there are no Star Trek Chia Pets, you can also just pretend this is a Captain Kirk Chia. Remember, Michael Myers’ mask is based on William Shatner’s face.
So why is this a Halloween II Chia Pet, and not just a Halloween Chia Pet? Well, it’s all about the rights. The original John Carpenter Halloween from 1978 is a seperate license from Halloween II, which was released by Universal Pictures. That’s why Michael Myers is crying blood out of his mask eye sockets, as that’s a unique look from that particular movie. You’ll probably notice most Michael Myers merchandise says Halloween II on the box, and not Halloween.
